The evidence from frontline clinicians is stark: e-scooter collisions can leave children with serious injuries and lifelong consequences. The law is clear that no one under 18 should use an e-scooter, and our message to parents and guardians is equally clear: do not buy one for a child. No gift is worth putting their safety at risk.Nuala Carey, Director of Partnerships and External Affairs at the RSA, said: “The evidence from frontline clinicians is stark: e-scooter collisions can leave children with serious injuries and lifelong consequences.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has issued a warning to parents against buying e-scooters for children under 18 due to the rising number of serious brain injuries among young riders, as highlighted by a consultant paediatrician who treated over 20 such cases in the past year. #EScooterSafety #ChildSafety #RoadSafety

There has been a serious increase in hit and runs in Ireland in recent years. There needs to a minimum custodial sentence for those who do so and maximum sentences need to increase. But most of all we need the Garda to enforce the law. https://t.co/lNuBMUFvTf #HitAndRun #Ireland #RoadSafety #IE
Every second counts after a road crash. Today at Renault, we discussed how firefighters, emergency services and carmakers can work together to save more lives. Faster response. Better coordination. More lives saved. 🚒⛑️ https://t.co/IT7ZTYnSNS #RoadSafety #EmergencyResponse #LifeSaving #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
🇬🇧🚗🚔 FLASH | Un nouveau phénomène inquiète en Grande-Bretagne et en Irlande avec 7 nouveaux morts dans une COLLISION FRONTALE après qu’une voiture a roulé à contresens près de Middlesbrough. Ce phénomène surnommé « Wrong Way Driving Challenge » (« défi de la conduite à contresens ») consiste à se filmer masqué avant de rouler à grande vitesse, parfois à contresens, pour générer des vues sur les réseaux sociaux. 5 jeunes de 17 à 23 ans, poursuivis par la police à bord d’une Volkswagen Passat, ont percuté de plein fouet un véhicule de police. Les 7 personnes impliquées sont mortes, dont 2 policiers. L’un des jeunes publiait déjà sur TikTok des vidéos de courses-poursuites avec la police. Un drame similaire a fait cinq morts en Irlande : 5 adolescents, à bord d’une BMW volée, ont roulé à contresens sur l’autoroute M9 avant de percuter une famille. #RoadSafety #DrivingChallenge #TragicNews
Here is just one example of Aontú questioning the government as to why they won't provide training to Garda to pursue e scooters, scramblers and joyriders. The government has done nothing to empower Garfaí to do their job and save lives. https://t.co/u1SYKpjCQr #Aontú #Garda #RoadSafety #IE
Taoiseach says there can be 'no tolerance' for reckless driving after recent motorway crashes NOT true. I have raised in the Dáil numerous times that Gardaí are not trained to pursue and the nothing has been done about it. https://t.co/vTLIuFrg6L #RecklessDriving #Gardaí #RoadSafety #IE
As e-bike use grows, so do questions about insurance and liability. If an accident happens, everyone should know who is covered and who isn't. 🚲🤔 #RoadSafety #Ebikes #Insurance #Ebikes #Insurance #RoadSafety #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
Safe cycling means more than building bike lanes. It also means tackling illegal modifications, dangerous imports, and ensuring our laws keep pace with new technology. ☝🏻 #RoadSafety #Ebikes #Mobility #RoadSafety #Ebikes #Mobility #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
The difference between an e-bike and a small motorcycle shouldn't be whether you remembered to keep the pedals. 👀 #RoadSafety #Ebikes #Mobility #Ebikes #RoadSafety #Mobility #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Met with insurance leaders and regulators to discuss how the private sector can contribute to improving road safety. Strong partnerships between governments, industry, and international organizations remain essential to reducing road traffic deaths and injuries. @PNUDRD https://t.co/Xjn8YgnhOK #RoadSafety #Partnerships #TrafficSafety #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
I met with #UN Deputy Secretary-General @AminaJMohammed yesterday in New York, together with Michelle. We agreed that road safety concerns our entire development agenda, and we need to adopt a more holistic approach to address the silent pandemic on the roads. #RoadSafety #SDG https://t.co/8DBbANuFi9 #RoadSafety #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalHealth #US
Addressing the High-Level Meeting on Road Safety, I reaffirmed that every road death is preventable. Delivering on the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety requires sustained political leadership, adequate financing and collective action.
